DHS needs a centralized social media policy

Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS), Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland
Security. He said in a statement, "In recent years, social media have become useful
and efficient tools for the government to communicate both to its workers and the
American people. Given DHS' size and makeup, social media are particularly helpful
for DHS to improve its relationship with its employees and communicate with the
public during both natural and man-made disasters."
